Primary Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced or whole
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili flakes (for smoky or spicy kick)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (for finishing)
- Prep the Potatoes: Start by washing and drying your potatoes thoroughly. Then, cut them into even bite-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
- Season and Toss: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, finely chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Make sure they have space between each piece to roast properly and get crispy.
- Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C), roasting the potatoes for about 30-40 minutes. Flip them halfway through to achieve an even golden crust.
- Serve Hot: Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy outside with tender centers, remove them from the oven. Give one last sprinkle of rosemary or salt if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Choose Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture and roasting results.
- Dry potatoes well before seasoning to ensure crispiness.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming the potatoes.
- Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning and crisp texture.
- Use fresh rosemary for the most aromatic, flavorful results.
